Ever wondered how it feels to climb some of the world's tallest mountains (such as Mount Everest or K2)? Or what it's like exploring areas so remote you're a week's walk from any town or medical help?
During his time working on the "Tourism in the Death Zone" project for Leeds Beckett University, PhD research student Jase Wilson experienced an incredible adventure - but he also exposed himself to a lot of risks.
Beyond the obvious challenges of spending time at 8,000 metres above sea level where oxygen concentration levels are low, it's the simple things - like eating the wrong food or taking a photo - that can actually turn into quite the predicament.
Here, Jase shares his unique story with World Travel Protection's Ben Cooper, providing listeners with an insightful sneak peek into his exhilarating world of academic research.
